Will this usb wireless adapter correctly install in linux mint 14, with ndiswrapper not working, and offer reliable internet access?

It is a plug and play device for Mint 14. No driver installation is needed. It works with most of the wireless routers out there.

Haven't tried. USB wireless receiver works fine and is nearly invisible, though.

Unless you connect by USB you should not need drivers. Just use a network cord to connect directly to the modem, or to a router in between.

Hi Annie! This wireless USB adapter works only with computers running on Windows 98SE, 2000, Me, or XP Operating Systems.

Update: This thread got me wired just now...Wireless is in the works. [ndiswrapper isn't so friendly to this one for some reason - perhaps I nabbed the wrong wireless driver..]http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=7409939

Hi there, I bought this device a while ago. It is kind of outdated. It was meant for older versions of Windows like XP and below. There might newer hardware that is Win 7 compatible. If you still want to give it a shoot, try installing the "latest" driver from the vendors website, http://support.linksys.com/en-us/support/adapters/USBBT100 Click downloads and choose hardware version 2.0. Good luck

if you use windows, the included wifi works fine. if you are building a "hacintosh" you need an external adapter.

I tried a random USB wifi adapter to enable the wifi features, but it was unrecognized. Here is one source for the toshiba adapter. I have used B&H for other items and they are trustworthy. Here's the link. Hopefully they will be in stock again soon: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=USB+Wi-Fi+Adapter&N=4291134297+4294544159

They used to have an alternative download link as well, but it is not valid anymore. Their customer support did a great job sending me a link to the newest driver when I was using this adapter.

You can get the vendor driver at http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid;=48&PFid;=48&Le;vel=5&Conn;=4&DownTypeID;=3&GetDown;=false&D;ownloads=true . dmesg says that it's RTL8192CU, but lsusb says it's rtl8188cus. I couldn't get it to work with 64bit Linux version 3 myself and I ended up using the built-in linux kernel driver instead. But that driver is flaky and will not reconnect, which wasn't a problem until I moved my computer to a different room, which was farther away from the modem. I ended up getting the Medialink- 150Mbps Wireless N USB Adapter, which uses the Ralink rt2870 chipset and has worked well so far.

Drive CD comes with the card. I put it in a computer running Linux Mint, and Linux found the driver immediately, I didn't have to do anything. My guess is that you, too, will just "plug and play".... Let me know

I plugged mine into a Linux Ubuntu Minimal install and it worked without issues. No software install required, no special drivers. It just works.

The USB hub will work without a driver, but the Ethernet port will not. I downloaded the driver from the manufacturer's website. I went to www.inateck.com, support, drivers.

This answer is a little late, but i have used this with Linux Mint 13 and 17 with no problems at all. In fact this card worked when I could not get some others to. Very good piece of equipment, connects immediately and stays connected with a strong signal. But the external antenna is a pain in the ***, however it also gives you flexibility when looking for the right spot to get the most signal strength without having to move your computer around.
